Lowland newspaper in competing field (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
rift valley
'lowland' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both natural objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'newspaper in competing field' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'newspaper' could be 'ft' (Financial Times newspaper) and 'ft' is located in the answer.
'competing' could be 'rival' (synonyms) and 'rival' is located in the leftover letters.
The remaining letters 'ley' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for rift valley that I've seen is " Geographical feature".)
